The gun is adapted to diseharge pellets which are ae-' commodated within the part representing the boiler or such other art, the said pellets being introduced into t e gun in any convenient manner, all of which is more particularly described in and by the following 'specifieation in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective View of the toy embodying this invention, and Fig. 2 is a part sectional elevation of the same.

Similar characters' of reference indicate 'similar parts in the several figures of the drawing.

1, is the hull of the toy boat and may be constructed of papier-mch, or other suit able material, the hullbeing providedwith laterally extending supports 2 and 3 for steadying purposes and 4: is a toy spring gun, fashioned to represent a eannon, and supported above the said hull. Various other devices may be oarried by the hull to represent diflerent parts ordinarily conspieuous about a boat, a smoke stack 5 and boiler 6 being indieated in the drawing.

It will be seen that the part representing rom fi sp'eci'fication bf Letters Pat'ent.

the boiler 6 is of; `atnbular; nature, having a closure at, thetop, and is adapted to aecpmnodate pelletsfl for use in the gun. Or

will have attaned a sufieient :speed upon The supports 2 and 3 materially facilitate the 'easy operation of the gun and render it capable of a certain amount of precision, owing to the rgidity of the hull.

12, is a cement or similar filling, such as pitch, for the hull, in which filling 12 the parts, 5, G, and 8 are inserted, and by which they are firmly held, the upper surface of the cement forming the deck of the boat.

A toy of this type may be very easily and cheaply constructed while, owing to its sub-` stantially solid nature, it is adapted to withstand the hard usage to which a toy is usually subjected, and as both the pellets and the gun are carried in the hull, the de- Vice is self eontained, thereby preventing loss of the pellets and also, owing to the fact that the boat carries its own ammunition, greatly enhancing the toy in the eyes of children.

This invention may be developed within the seope of the following claims, without departing from the essential features thereof and it is desired that the specifieation and drawing be read as being merely illustrative and not in a limiting sense, except as necessitated by the prior art.

What I claim as my invention is:

l. A toy boat comprisng a spring gun mounted upon a hull, parts also mounted upon said hull, representing objeets ordinarily conspcuous in a boat, and means Whereby certain of said p'arts are adapted to acconnodate 'pellets for said gun.

2. A toy boat conprisng a spring gun inounted upon -a -hull, parts 'also 'mounted upon said hull, representing objects ordinarily conspcuous in a boat, neans Whereby certain of said parts are adapted .to accommodate pellets for said gun, and supports for said hull to nsure ri'gdity When said gun is operated.

8. A toy boat comprisng a spring gun nountecl upon a-hull, a ,raised part on said hull representing a boiler of a tubular nature, adapted to contain pelletsfor said gun, and a closure for' said biler,

4. A toy boat-'comprising a Spring gun mounted upon ahulh said hull having a. recess'theren to accornrnodate pellets for said gun, and 'means 'surmounting jsa'id recess to close the .same andhaving the ap'pearance of parts ordinarily-conspicuousjin'a boat.

. 5. A toy boat' having' 'a solijd hull With a plurality of recesses in its u'p'pei' surface, a

gun nounted in one of said recesses, certain ofsaid recesses accommodatingpellets for' said gun and all the recesses havngrepre-` 'sentative parts of the boat mounted theren.

6. A toy boat having a hull, a solid material molded into said hull the upper surface of said material forming'the d ckgof the boat, a gun nounted upon said deck and representative parts also nounted upon said deck, certain of said representative parts being adapted to conceal pellets for said gun.

7. A toy boat having a hull, a solid inaterial occupying the interior of said huH, the upper surface of said material forning the deck of the boat, said material being recessed in the surface thereof and a gun nounted in one of said recesses, representative parts nounted in the remaining recesses, one of said upper parts being tubular and having a closure at its upper end.

8. A-toy boat having a hull, a solid inaterial occupying the interior of said hull, the upper surface of said material forning the deck of the boat, said material being recessed in the surface thereof, a gun nounted in one of said recesses, and representative parts mounted in the remaining recesses, certain of said parts being adapted to be removed to disclose pellets for said gun,

concealed in said recesses.
